Supreme Court unanimously upholds right to abortion pill

Recommended Posts

Was this the case that was brought to that extreme Texas judge, who put in a place a nationwide ban and was ruling the FDA unconstitutional?

Justice Brett Kavanaugh wrote the abortion pill opinion for a unanimous court

From CNN's John Fritze

The Supreme Court on Thursday rejected a lawsuit challenging the Food and Drug Administration’s approach to regulating the abortion pill mifepristone.

Justice Brett Kavanaugh wrote the opinion for a unanimous court.

The court ruled that the doctors and anti-abortion groups that had challenged access to the drug did not have standing to sue. Though technical, the court’s reasoning is important because it might encourage other mifepristone challenges in the future.

“We recognize that many citizens, including the plaintiff doctors here, have sincere concerns about and objections to others using mifepristone and obtaining abortions,” Kavanaugh wrote.

“But citizens and doctors do not have standing to sue simply because others are allowed to engage in certain activities – at least without the plaintiffs demonstrating how they would be injured by the government’s alleged under-regulation of others.”

Sounds like the Trump immunity decision will be released tomorrow. Should be interesting

I actually pray it's not interesting, it sure shouldn't be.

I thought this court hated women?  At least the justices who know what a woman is.  :dunno:

If this was dismissed because of "standing" then it is likely that SCOTUS will revisit this issue in the future.

Won't they be too busy finding ways to justify installing Trump as POTUS despite a landslide defeat?
